Yes, it's still great to see ALL results, which allows me to discover new resources, but if results can be qualified, then this feature ultimately saves me. Seems like a great step towards users choosing their own authoritative resources rather than taking what you get based on popularity and search relevance. It might encourage publishers with more authority to invest more in their web content if they knew users could find them and select them as a preferred information source. Could definitely change some SEO strategies, but I think for the better.fvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175582581635696319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-77254810765493494122009-01-20T09:09:00.000-08:002009-01-20T09:09:00.000-08:00What about Chrome???
